One of the, if not the, most popular ways to get around
London
is
the London Underground system.

The crumbling edifice of a structure, never designed for
a city the size of
London,
began life in 1863 on what are now the Circle, Hammersmith
and City lines and bits of the Metropolitan line. It remains
an extensive network of tunnels throughout the city - and
is a convenient way to get from the outskirts and suburbs
of town in the centre. Much maintenance work continues and
major line upgrades and extensions have been completed in
recent years - notably on the Jubilee line.

My top tip? Get to the station nearest your top attractions
of the day and walk the rest. It's good use of time and you
see more above ground!

Beware engineering works on the weekend and occassional
strikes much beloved of Tube workers.
